"The Walk" is a song by English rock band The Cure, released as a stand-alone single in June 1983.

It was recorded when the band was briefly reduced to the two founder members Robert Smith and Lol Tolhurst upon the departure of bassist Simon Gallup in mid-1982, following the end of the band's tour in support of the album Pornography.

According to Tolhurst, they chose Steve Nye as producer at the time due to his work on the album Tin Drum by Japan.

Unlike the earlier version which had been recorded with Siouxsie and the Banshees bassist Steven Severin, which was garbled and experimental, the lyrics are understandable and the music has a different composition.

[citation needed] The Cure recorded a completely new version of "The Walk" for their remix album Mixed Up, for the original master tapes could not be located.
